Building an Smarter Planet with Dynamic Infrastructure Cloud computing: the IBM point of view Ciro Puglisi, Infrastructure Offering Leader, CEEMEA cpug@ch.ibm.com, +41 58 333 4157
Cloud Computing can go to mainstream adoption in 2-5 years Source: Gartner (July 2009) Business drivers: business agility, cost reduction, service delivery Technology drivers: virtualisation 2
Cloud Computing is a new user experience and delivery model inspired by consumer Internet services. Cloud Computing exhibits the following key characteristics: 1. On-demand self-service, service catalog 2. Ubiquitous network access 3. Location independent resource pooling 4. Rapid elasticity 5. Pay per use/ flexible pricing models, eg, pay per use People Services Business Services Monitor & Manage Services & Resources Datacenter Infrastructure Access Services Service Consumers Application Services Cloud Administrator IT Cloud Service Catalog, Component Library Component Vendors/ Software Publishers Publish & Update Components, Service Templates Platform Services Infrastructure Services Clouds will transform the information technology (IT) industry profoundly change the way people work and companies operate.

Today there are three primary delivery models that companies are implementing for cloud Enterprise Traditional Enterprise IT Private Cloud Hybrid Cloud Public Clouds Private Cloud IT activities/functions are provided as a service, over an intranet, within the enterprise and behind the firewall Key features include: Scalability Automatic/rapid provisioning Chargeback ability Widespread virtualization Hybrid Cloud Internal and external service delivery methods are integrated, with activities/functions allocated to based on security requirements, criticality, architecture and other established policies. Public Cloud IT activities/functions are provided as a service, over the Internet Key features: Scalability Automatic/rapid provisioning Standardized offerings Consumption-based pricing.

Management of physical and virtual environments together Companies are gradually virtualising everything Servers, storage, networking, applications Different architectures and OS based on workload requirements Different hypervisors even for the same architecture IBM offers Management of heterogeneous physical and virtual environments together and with a single view across servers, storage and network Integrated visibility, control & automation across heterogeneous business and technology assets Roadmap for integrated management of public / private cloud 7 Open Virtualization Format (OVF) IBM VMcontrol on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okrxekby2zm
Step 2: Analyse workload and understand the right mix Which workload for private cloud? Which workload for public cloud? Which workload is not for the cloud? Increase Agility Development & Test Business Processes Collaboration Connect & Empower People Analytics Desktop & Devices Turn Information into Insights Infrastructure Storage Infrastructure Compute Drive Effectiveness and Efficiency 8
IBM provides comprehensive cloud solutions with 3 delivery models Cloud Enterprise Data Center Private Cloud Hardware Software Services Increase Agility Development & Test Business Processes Collaboration Connect & Empower People Analytics Desktop & Devices Turn Information into Insights Infrastructure Storage Infrastructure Compute Drive Effectiveness and Efficiency 9
Step 3: Cloud implementation snapshot End Users Service Portal Service Request Catalog Provisioning Engine Workflows Expert Systems Scripts Optional Service Modules e.g. Metering/ Usage Billing, Monitoring, etc. Easy to access, easy to use Service Request Catalog Hides underlying complex infrastructure from user and shifts focus to services provided Enables the ability to provide standardized and lower cost services Facilitates a granular level of services metering and billing Workload standardization eases complexity Virtualized Cloud Infrastructure 10
Example: IBM Cloudburst, an Integrated Infrastructure Cloud solution Usage and Accounting Provide metering and accounting for cloud services Enable integration to billing systems if needed Virtualized HW Management Enhanced management of the virtual environment Energy Management Energy management of the hardware infrastructure IBM Cloudburst Built for Purpose Cloud Solution Tivoli Service Automation Manager (TSAM) Orchestration of Cloud operations Integration point for service mgmt capabilities Service catalog and templates Automated provisioning of virtual systems Monitoring Monitor both physical and virtual server environments High Availability Make management system DB highly available Server, Storage, Network HW Preinstalled and configured on IBM hardware 11 Cloudburst Technical Demo on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rckt5gv5pn4
